Finding credibility clues on Twitter

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170127131306.htm

     By scanning 66 million tweets linked to nearly 1,400
   real-world events, researchers have built a language model
   that identifies words and phrases that lead to strong or weak
   perceived levels of credibility on Twitter. Their findings
   suggest that the words of millions of people on social media
   have considerable information about an event's credibility --
   even when an event is still ongoing.
